Episode notes

This week we're going to Austin, Texas for the permissionless crypto conference. We'll also find out about a new bitcoin ETF and learn more about an entire ecosystem dedicated to decentralized token govern technologies. The show will be back at 9pm ET on Wednesday September 11th with James Carville as our guest.

Today we're joined by James Seyffart, a research analyst at Bloomberg who's the perfect person to answer our questions regarding the convergence of crypto and ETFs.

We dive into: - The probabilities of a Blackrock Bitcoin ETF and why - Important dates in which the SEC will need to give us answers - Neutrality, or lack thereof around the ETF approval process
